The above female differs from any in the series previously reported 

 upon ^^ as follows : The pileum is bister ; the throat and upper chest 

 a light clove brown ; the feathers of the sides of the neck and chest 

 merely fringed narrowly with white; the flank feathers without the 

 subterminal black bar; and there are other differences. Whether 

 these differences are sexual can not be determined, but I am in- 

 clined to the belief that they are age characters. The females in 

 Doctor Eock's earlier collection only differ from the males in being 

 duller, if they differ at all. 



108. BABAX LANCEOLATUS LANCEOLATUS (Verreaux) 



Pterorhinus lanceolatus Vereeaux, Nouv. Arch. Mns. Paris, vol. 6, Bull., p. 36, 

 1871 (mountains of Chinese Tibet). 



Two males and two females, northwest Yunnan (Likiang Moun- 

 tains, 10,000 feet, Januarj^-February and September; Ndamucho, 

 14,000 feet, October) ; five males and six females, southwest Szech- 

 wan (forests of Watogomba, 12,500 feet, Yalung watershed, July; 

 forest of Djishi, 11,000 feet, northeast of Muli, July; forests of 

 Noon, 10,500 feet, east of Muli, August; mountains of Kulu, 11,000 

 feet, December; Briiolo-kong Valley, 13,000-15,900 feet, eight days 

 southwest of Tatsienlu, May ; Shangentze, 14,500 feet. May ; Yuling- 

 gong, 11,000 feet. May). 



With a much larger series before me than when Doctor Rock's 

 former collection from Yunnan was reported upon,^* I am unable 

 to recognize ionvaloti as a valid race. The single specimen from 

 Hupeh marked as a male upon which my remarks upon size were 

 founded, I am convinced now is wrongly sexed and that it is really 

 a female. The female is considerably smaller than the male. Since 

 that paper was written, females have been received from Szechwan 

 and Yunnan that are as small as the Hupeh specimen in question. 



109. GARRULAX ALBOGULARIS ECUS Riley 



Oarrulax albogularis eous Riley, Proe. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 43, p. 79, 

 1930 (Fuchuanshan, Yunnan). 



Four males and two females, Fuchuanshan, 9,800 feet, Yunnan, 

 September. 

 This race was described as follows: 



Similar to Oarrulax albogularis albofjularis, but much lighter above, the 

 forehead more strongly and extensively tinged with tawny; the cinnamon-bufE 

 of the breast lighter ; the chest band a lighter brownish olive. Wing, 136 ; tail, 

 136 ; culmen, 22 ; tarsus, 43 ; middle toe, 24 mm.
